IMPRO'VED BREAST-LOOP FOR EAMES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom `it muy concern Bc it known that I, W ummm' B. HAYDEN, of Columbus, in the county of Franklin, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Breast-Loop', and I do vhereby declareythat the following is a full, clear, 4and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this speriiication, in which Figure 1 is a view oi' the loop, with a strap applied to it.

Figure 2 shows the loop, with'a snap applied to it.

Figure 3 shows a chain, with swivel-bar applied to' the loop.

Figure 4 is a sectional view of the improved loop.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts in theseveral figures.

This inventiourelates to an improvement on breastrings for llames, to which rings it is often desired to attach straps, snaps, or chains.

My object is to improve such devices, so that by a simple adjustment ot' them through their eyes, by which they are fastened to the lla-mcs, they can be adapted to receive,in a proper manner, either a strap, snap, or a chain.

The following is a description of my invention:

The loop is qnadrangular, with its angles a. a so arranged, with reference to the bars afa", which form an acute angle, c, that when the loop is suspended from its eye-piece D, h v either one of the said angles a,

such point of suspension will be directly over one of the bars a', 'and the. latter will assume a horizontal position, or a position which is at right angles to the eye-piece D.

Figure 1 shows the loop, arranged as above described, and thus adapted for strap, A.

When the loop is adjusted, so as to be suspended by its obtuse angle b, lthe acute angle c then falls directly below this angle b, and the latter is adapted for rcceivin1l a snap, B, as shown in fig. 2.

When angle c is adjusted in the eye D, the obtuse angle b is then in position for receiving the swivel-bar cfa chain, C.

rJhus, it will he seen that the loop is adapted for three different attachments, andcan be readily adjusted for either one of them. It has no bar across it to interfere when used with a breast-chain, and it can be made of wrought-metal as readily and cheaply' as the ordina-ry ring.

Having described my invention, I claim as a new and improved article of manufacture- A quam-angular breast-1ocp for hames, constructed and applied to an eye I), as herein set forth.

WM. B. HAYDEN.
